Strambach is a well-known name in the pipe scene. The company was founded in 1904 by Edmund Strambach as a pipe manufactory. His brother Robert took over the firm in 1922 and changed the strategy to Meerschaum as raw material.

He developed new and special techniques to transform this awesome material into smokeable pipes. Meerschaum is a porous material which easily absorbs liquid substances, especially for pipesmokers, it is ideal for condensate absorbtion. Its scientific name is Sepiolith, a type of magnesium silicate. Strambach is also a specialist for the popular Calabash Pipe with its Meerschaum bowl inlay.

Today Strambach is the only manufacturer of Meerschaum and Calabash Pipes in the European Union. All pipes are handmade and unique.
